One of the most popular pilgrim centres of Andhra Pradesh, Sri Mallikarjuna Swamy Kamakshi Tayee Ammavari Temple is a divine place in Jonnawada, located on the bank of river Pennar. Situated at a distance of about 12 kms from Nellore, the village is a part of Bucchireddipalem Mandal. This temple helps the small village of Jonnawada to bring its significance on the maps of Andhra Pradesh.
It is said that in Tretayuga, the great sage Kashyapa, visited bhoolokam (the Earth) in order to perform Yagnam. He chose north of Vedadri as Yagna Vatika (place to perform Yagna). After the completion of his Maha Yagna, a bright light appeared which spread on the entire bhoolokam. The sage Kashyapa performed Yagnam here in order to please Lord Mallikarjuna Swami. The lord, who was pleased with his devotion, appeared from the fire of Yagna and blessed the sage. From then on Jonnawada is also called as 'Yagnavatika Jonnawada'. The temple is famous for Sri Mallikarjuna swamy and Kamakshi amma temple constructed in the year 1150. The goddess Kamakshi is believed as an incarnation of Shakti. A 'Sri Chakram' was installed here by Sri Jagadguru Adhi Sankaracharya. This temple is dedicated to goddess Kamakshi Tai, one of the variations of Shakti. The temple entrance door, Dwaja Sthabham (Flag mast) and the Gopuram (tower) of the temple adorning with five kalasams (pots) on the top are made out of gold.
The locals believe that praying to the Goddess Kamakshi Tai would relieve one from hurdles and diseases. According to them, if anyone who is taken over by evil sprits, sleep in the temple premises for few nights, they will overcome their problem and get cured.
The temple is open for devotees during timings 5:00 AM - 1:00 PM and 4:30...
